Kolomoyskyi was criticized by Mr Justice Mann in a court case in London involving an attempted hostile takeover of an oil company, with the judge stating that he had “a reputation of having sought to take control of a company at gunpoint in Ukraine” and that a finance director considered she had “strong grounds for doubting the honesty of Mr Kolomoyskyi”.
